It's Square Man! Getting in Shape at Squigglefly!

Folks, this has been a rough week for me as I don't adapt to this many changes at one time...I've been trying to get this card posted to Squigglefly's weekly challenge "Getting in Shape" BUT have been fighting a new computer installation-Holy Cow!!!- my ERGO keyboard doesn't work with this computer-Double HC after 13 years on a curved KB!-My external HD doesn't work in the new puter-AND that's where all my card pictures are stored-TRIPLE HC!!! I have finally figured a way to maneuver around my ISSUES and join in the fun.

This week we want to change the basic shape of our cards. So, to make a card for this week's challenge, create a card in any size EXCEPT A2 (standard 4.25x5.5 rectangle); How about a square card or something round, something tall or something made with a diecut? Surprise US!

I'm using the Cheryl Alger image "Have a Heart Girl" with a spellbinder die cut around the edge on a SQUARE card. I used a HM flower from cardstock punched layers, moistened with water, and then scrunched until dry. The white core makes a great white edge around the flower.

Carolyn I am glad you've found a work around for your issues. I am sure you'll get all the kinks worked out and be whizzing along like a pro on your new pc before too long. I love your sweet card! The little heart background is perfect and I love the die you used to cut the image out. Your sentiment is just the best with this image!
